MSSF Annual Fungus Fair
A Celebration of Wild Mushrooms

Save the Date! Sunday, December 8, 2024

El Camino High School
1320 Mission Rd, South San Francisco, CA 94080

The Mycological Society of San Francisco Fungus Fair includes the latest collection of expertly identified fungi collected in various locations in the Bay Area. These annual collections constitute a 50-year record of the early winter fungal diversity in our area. This historical information may become an important contribution to science as climate change affects our local ecosystems.

 

In the San Francisco Bay Area, when the first rains tease up the chanterelles and porcini, fungus lovers head to the Fungus Fair.
